First, students use the key to decode the four messages (the two versions each have different questions, allowing students to complete both if you have fast finishers). The messages revealed are goal-setting tasks and questions, which students then respond to in the spaces given.

create a new code of their own and use it to share messages of positivity and encouragement
differentiated extension slips require students to name the code systems, with reasoning
